- That'll goose the numbers a bit. - Will Hunting Mar 6, 06:54 7
  - I hate Apple products but even I had to concede not investing in it was dumb. I bought into Apple this month. The cult of consumers is just too big -- nm - Bacon Mar 6, 07:35 1
    - The fund into which I invested my Fidelity IRA is heavily into Apple. No wonder the growth curve is straight up. -- nm - Mop Mar 6, 07:44

    - It's still replacing a $30 stock with a $130 stock so the percentage moves will be more visible in the average. -- nm - Baron Go Bragh Mar 6, 07:01 3
      - Wait, Apple's up to $130 already? - Will Hunting Mar 6, 07:04 2

World's 10 most expensive cities -- (link) - prayformojo Mar 6, 05:51
"India held West Indies to 182 runs" doesn't sound right, even though I suppose it is. -- nm - volnelk Mar 6, 05:30 5
- That's a lot of wicked googlies. -- nm - Baron Go Bragh Mar 6, 05:49
- 182 runs is a low score in cricket. -- nm - Roger More Mar 6, 05:31 3
  - I suppose the language is different because in cricket, there's only one switch between offence and defence. - Roger More Mar 6, 05:38 1
    - Makes sense. That was the crux of the article. A win seemed a lock, but now is not looking as promising. -- nm - volnelk Mar 6, 05:50
  - I figured, form the tone of the article. It just sounds funny as a headline on ESPN.com -- nm - volnelk Mar 6, 05:34

    - a. what gun is he selling next week. b. what is he selling today? -- nm - Truman Mar 6, 05:18 9
      - MIDA. Ice Breaker. -- nm - Shaun Mar 6, 05:38 8
        
        well, dont need another ice breaker. it would be interested if they started to roll the element on exoctic weapons - Truman Mar 6, 06:24 7
        
        Is Icebreaker a primary weapon? Hope so. -- nm - Spawndroid Mar 6, 06:48 5
        
        No, it's a sniper rifle, and probably the best overall gun in the game. -- nm - Shaun Mar 6, 06:49 4
        
        heh. See below. -- nm - Spawndroid Mar 6, 06:50 3
        
        next week is the MIDA scout rifle, my favorite exotic primary in the game. nm -- nm - groiny Mar 6, 07:12 2
        
        Perfect. - Ultron Mar 6, 07:39
        
        That movement speed. Swordbearer's dream perk. -- nm - Shaun Mar 6, 07:18
        
        Imagine having all 3 elements on Gjallarhorn? - Shaun Mar 6, 06:33
    - are these from that megamind dude? -- nm - Truman Mar 6, 05:17 17
      - Yeah. -- nm - Shaun Mar 6, 05:38 16
        
        there is another dude on those forums who figured out how to do the same thing. it will be interesting to see if bungie changes something up because - Truman Mar 6, 06:27 15
        
        Xur is mostly random. That doesn't necessarily mean that he's random each week. - Shaun Mar 6, 06:32 14
        
        do you mean bungie or mega? -- nm - Truman Mar 6, 06:40 13
        
        Bungie. -- nm - Shaun Mar 6, 06:41 12
        
        maybe, i guess they could be storing the next 3-4 weeks ahead of time, and letting the system work it out - Truman Mar 6, 06:47 11
        
        I don't want him to sell Gallahorn. - groiny Mar 6, 07:22 10
        
        I'm assuming they've taken it out of his loot table. Also, it's nothing too special in Crucible, as any rocket is already a one hit kill. -- nm - Shaun Mar 6, 07:24 9
        
        it is a streak killer. nm -- nm - groiny Mar 6, 07:26
        
        yes, but most rockets you still have to aim, at least a bit. - groiny Mar 6, 07:26 7
        
        Truth and HoC track. I've even had a randomly rolled blue one have tracking. - Shaun Mar 6, 07:33 6
        
        Yeah, I have one I carry. I have The Cure, but keep it for certain situations. -- nm - Ultron Mar 6, 07:41
        
        oh, in anything but crucible, they are fantastic. - groiny Mar 6, 07:36 4
        
        Get one then sucka! Truth is better overall in Crucible. It tracks more aggressively and it will detonate within a certain proximity. -- nm - Shaun Mar 6, 07:39 3
        
        well, my rockets tend to fuck some shit up too. - groiny Mar 6, 07:45 2
        
        :) -- nm - Shaun Mar 6, 07:46 1
        
        I aim mine at their feet, and let the cluster bombs sort it out. nm -- nm - groiny Mar 6, 07:47
Spawn. Ice Breaker. Buy It. Also, heavy synths!! -- nm - Shaun Mar 6, 04:40 7
- hopefully his primary weapon, or a sniper rifle. Is two things I still want. -- nm - Spawndroid Mar 6, 06:49 6
  - ammo regenerating sniper rifle, with burn damage. a destroyer of enemies and the breaker of david's heart - Truman Mar 6, 06:53 5
    - Ammo regenerating? Wow! That sounds excellent. -- nm - Spawndroid Mar 6, 06:56 4
      - it regererates kind of slow, but it is a must have gun -- nm - groiny Mar 6, 07:19 3
        
        Probably THE best gun in the game. -- nm - David Mar 6, 07:41 2
        
        it certainly makes a big difference having that in your backpack. - groiny Mar 6, 07:46 1
        
        also and along with gjallarhorn and black hammer, a boss killer. -- nm - Truman Mar 6, 08:08
Wake up! -- nm - prayformojo Mar 6, 04:24
This does not help soccer's reputation for diving -- (link) - zork Mar 5, 23:12 3
- After now watching Premiere League all season, I notice this as a way way way smaller deal than it was made out to be during World Cup. - volnelk Mar 6, 05:22 2
  - Most Americans don't watch Premiere league and when we watch the WC it's diving everywhere. Maybe they do it less with their clubs but - Krusty Mar 6, 05:39 1
    - I agree it's a problem in the WC, I was just pleasantly surprised it's far less of a deal the rest of the time. At least in England. -- nm - volnelk Mar 6, 06:13
Ooh, lovely, now I'm on 7-Eleven's email list. -- nm - Beryllium Mar 5, 22:17 11

    - nothing wrong with pepperoni -- nm - budice Mar 6, 02:34 4
      - Not at all. Best pizza topping! -- nm - Krusty Mar 6, 06:16 3
        
        Best non-sauce or non-cheese topping you mean. -- nm - Shaun Mar 6, 06:20 2
        
        Well, they're an integral part of a pizza so I didn't count them but you're right. It wouldn't be pizza without sauce and mozzarella. -- nm - Krusty Mar 6, 06:29 1
        
        And you are correct. Pepperoni is the best topping. -- nm - Shaun Mar 6, 06:33
- Better than their watch list. -- nm - Mop Mar 5, 23:06
